When he entered the lounge, the first person his eyes went to was this beautiful, long legged, woman who was out on the dance floor gyrating to the loud music like everyone else. The problem was that from that point on his eyes would not let him look anywhere else; if he did, he always came back to this magnificent looking creature. He observed that this heavenly being was dancing with a small mousy guy, but it wasn't who she was dancing with that...

On a personal note, she was a normal woman with typical needs; however, she kept them in check.

He'd had several good ideas over the past two days, but none of them stood out as great choices. The movie and dinner bit was way overdone, and so was going to a club and dancing. Nope, he had to come up with something unique, but what? What he really wanted to do was take her somewhere...

Another thought came to mind, she had to consider the girls who worked right here in the mansion, because for years they had been performing illegal acts on this very property, and for money, lots of money. They did this while her mother recorded it all, and that's the sort of information that could be used in a courtroom to convict her, Jerry, and the girls. If that happened, they'd end up behind bars for a long time. That also meant that those tapes...

Suddenly excited, he brought up the article and read it word for word. Afterwards, he sat there asking himself, is this the tie I need in order to link this woman with organized crime? To have the Boston mob boss killed in her car was too much of a coincidence, she had to be involved with him in one way or another.
Taking the next obvious step, he accessed the police report and that really set him back. The report said that the car was found parked...

At The Mansion, he was, kept very busy, both on the phones and with getting the staff to only take what was needed. In the past two hours, he'd been up and down to every level at least three times and had even supervised what books would be going with them from the library. As far as the medical clinic on the second level went, most of that stuff was staying. The bank was broken down and all the records and computers moved back to the main bank downtown....

He felt vindicated, at last that business would finally come under his control, right where it should have been all along.

This was just one more way that they were forced to operate these days, that way it kept the cops from taping into their conversations. Sometimes he went through three or four phones a day. Then,...

He played his most recent conversation over-and-over in his mind and he still couldn't see any reason for her, to be upset about anything he'd said to her. On the subject of those stocks, he was right about that too, although the problem was that he only saw his side of this lavish gift she'd sent him, not hers. Was she trying to buy him or what? He spent the next hour thinking only of himself, not about her or her feelings.
When he did finally think...
